I colored one section at a time imagining the highlight was in the center. I colored from the outside in, starting with the darkest color I pressed firmly. With the lighter value, I used a lighter touch coloring towards the center and leaving some white. I blended with a very small amount of solution and a light touch, in small circles. In smaller areas, I just used pencils, blending with the lightest color. NOTES: (1) I like to color all of one color/combination of shades at one time and then move to the next color. (2) I put my blending solution in a small container with a sponge to control how much I pick up. (3) I use different size stumps and when I change colors, I sharpen the stump on the Spectrum Noir Paper Stump Sander. I extended the branch to the edge of the cardstock.

For the background, I stamped the trees with Distress Ink Padspine needles, mowed lawn.

To make the sky, I used an Ink Sweeper with Distress Ink Padtumbled glass in a horizontal motion, from the outside in, leaving blank areas to give the illusion of clouds. I also made the first layer of the icy lake in the same way - with less blue. The snow on the ground and second layer of icy lake were made by lightly rubbing a Memento LUXE Ink Padwedding whitein a horizontal motion. I used a white gel pen to add snow to the pines trees.
